What makes me ICONIC?
When I was born, I was given a name that means “defender of mankind” and that is my true calling. I’m a defender of underrepresented populations and the bright beaming sun makes my superpowers come to life.
My superpower is that I ward off sorrow and provide harmony. My radiant sunflower staff bestows joy and happiness to the isolated and those that live in fear. I put my superhero powers to the test this summer when I interned for an immigration law firm. Standing up for what I believe in is when I feel most alive and one day I will be a non-profit leader advocating on all of the social issues I care most deeply about.
Even when the doors seem to be closing in on you, I will be a gleam of hope.
